Rest, Retreat, and the Power of 'Wintering' Feb 19, 2025

Have you ever experienced a 'wintering' season? Learn more about how this practice of intentional rest and retreat can transform you and your perspective on life's many experiences from the inside out.

In a world that glorifies constant productivity, slowing down can feel uncomfortable—even guilt-inducing. Yet, just as nature embraces winter as a time of retreat and renewal, we, too, need seasons of rest to restore our energy and realign with what truly matters. Wintering is not about failure or stagnation; it is an essential pause that allows for healing, reflection, and growth. When we honor these quieter moments, we give ourselves the space to reset, gain clarity, and emerge stronger. Learning to rest is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of wisdom, a conscious decision to nurture the mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the seasons ahead.

In this episode, we talk about wintering—how to embrace time of rest and retreat so you can re-emerge a more attuned version of yourself with our energy-healing heroe, Katherine MacLane. Katherine is recognized as a standout authority in energy coaching, healing, and mindset transformation, with over two decades of experience. She has been featured in esteemed national and international media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, CBS Sunday Morning, and Forbes. Katherine facilitates shifts in vibration and frequencies through scientifically backed methods, unlocking the most authentic and empowered version of her clients.

Forgiveness is Part of the Healing Journey Feb 12, 2025

Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn’t about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it’s about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers.

As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

Standout Quotes:

“Saying I’m sorry is the first step, and then how can I help?” [18:47]
“Forgiveness is not forgetting; forgiving is saying that you were in pain, and it’s not going to define you anymore.” [26:00]
“Healing is essential, but it’s not linear, and it’s not about restoration to a mythic perfect state.” [44:51]
“Boundaries are critically important, and so is accountability and responsibility when you make a mistake.” [59:21]

How Spirit Helps Us Understand Our Tendencies & Behaviors Feb 05, 2025

Have you ever felt an unexplainable pull toward certain choices or a deep inner knowing that defies logic? Our lives are constantly shaped by unseen forces, gently nudging us toward growth, self-awarenaess, and transformation. Spirit speaks in whispers through intuition and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. By recognizing our tendencies, we gain the power to refine them, breaking free from cycles that no longer serve us and embracing the wisdom that guides us forward. The journey of navigating spirit is not about control but about learning to listen, trust, and align with the deeper rhythm of life.

In this episode, we talk about lessons that spirit can teach us about ourselves and make us aware of our natural tendencies with Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lea hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

“We can keep amazing opportunities from ourselves by unconsciously defaulting to our program.” [14:39]
“The key to navigating anything is to know yourself without judgments and tune yourself for different areas.” [22:31]

How Human Design Types Coincide with Decision-Making Feb 01, 2025

How Human Design Types Coincide with Decision-Making

Have you ever felt stuck between choices, wondering why decision-making feels overwhelming for you? The answer may lie in your Human Design type. Human Design is all about how we are wired to navigate life—including the way we make decisions. Whether you're a bold Manifestor, a strategic Projector, a responsive Generator, or a deeply intuitive Reflector, your type determines the most aligned way for you to evaluate options and take action. By understanding your Human Design strategy and authority, you can break free from societal conditioning, reduce decision fatigue, and start making choices that truly align with your authentic self.

In this episode, we talk about decision making, and how human design might be the tool you have been looking for to better understand how you make decisions and ways to evaluate options in a way that aligns with your truest self with Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade, an adventure that has taken him all over the world. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. Zach holds advanced degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, along with certifications in CliftonStrengths coaching and human design.

Zach's primary philosophy, in Ram Dass's words, is that "We are all just walking one another home," He believes in helping others grow, evolve, and reconnect with their true selves through holistic, multi-dimensional support.

“If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Albert Einstein. [31:01]
“Human design offers us something that we can explore and get firsthand data so that we’re not walking around comparing ourselves.” [31:13]
“The pursuit of purpose, the chasing, and the striving works against us more than it works for us.” [38:10]
“A purpose is something that we live into as opposed to something that we discover and then live into.” [38:23]
“Taking it out of theory, and mental processing and bringing it into the world is the quickest route to discovering and embodying our purpose.” [42:06]

Physical and Emotional Benefits of Immersing Yourself in Nature Jan 29, 2025

Immersing yourself in nature isn’t just a retreat for the senses; it’s a powerful way to heal both body and mind. From the soothing rustle of leaves to the grounding feel of the earth beneath your feet, nature can calm, restore, and energize. Physically, it reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and enhances immune function. Emotionally, it improves clarity, creativity, and a deeper connection to oneself. Much like the myofascial system in our bodies, nature operates as a network of balance and resilience—reminding us that healing is often found in simplicity and stillness. Whether it’s a quiet walk through the woods or simply listening to birdsong, nature invites us to return to our natural rhythm to unlock healing and inner strength.

In this episode, we discuss nature-inspired healing, nature’s healing powers for our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how this can mirror what MFR provides with Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years

Learning to Be (And Feel) Present Jan 21, 2025

Being present is a phrase we hear often, yet its true essence can feel elusive. It’s more than just a buzzword or a fleeting concept—it’s about fully being in the moment, connecting with your body, and quieting the monkey mind. While it sounds simple, being present can be challenging in a world filled with constant distractions. However, practices like yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork offer powerful tools to help us create the bridge between mind and body. By learning to release tension, focus on breath, and tune into the sensations of the here and now, we can experience the transformative power of being truly present.

In this episode, we talk about how yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork can be effective gateways for learning how to be present in your body and why it's important with Nicole Kim. Nicole is a yoga instructor dedicated to the art of holistic healing, with her own journey centering around the fusion of yoga, time massage, and the transformative power of sound healing. With a profound passion for facilitating wellness, she weaves together these ancient practices to create a harmonious tapestry of healing experiences. Through the mindful integration of yoga postures, therapeutic touch of time massage, and resonant frequencies of energy and sound, she aspires to guide individuals to self-discovery and holistic well-being while creating space for both body and spirit to find restoration and balance.

Learning to Connect with Your Inner Child Jan 15, 2025

What if the key to unlocking your true potential lies within the child you once were? Inner child work is not just a healing tool—it’s the foundation for how we navigate the world as adults. The beliefs we formed in childhood about ourselves and the world around us silently shape our relationships, self-perception, and emotional patterns. Too often, we judge ourselves harshly, but judgment can never spark true change—only compassion can. Inner child work offers a safe, nurturing space filled with love, gentleness, gratitude, and the essential conditions for personal growth and transformation. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about building a compassionate relationship with every part of who you are.

In this episode, we talk with Cait deMello about one of the most essential aspects of healing: Inner Child work. Cait is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength. With a master's degree in coaching and certification in over 20 modalities, including inner child work, parts work, and breathwork, Cait has deeply invested in her spirituality and credits Tarot with saving her life by deepening her connection to her inner voice.

Self-trust is the cornerstone of achieving your 2025 goals, and it begins with small daily commitments—non-negotiable wins that reinforce your belief in your ability to follow through. Self-trust is about showing up for yourself consistently, even when faced with discomfort, and using accountability as a tool to stay on track. Each step, when taken with intention, creates a cycle of growth, building confidence and resilience along the way.

By trusting yourself, you unlock the power to overcome challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

Protecting Your Energy When Supporting Loved Ones Through Hard Times Dec 18, 2024

Our energy fields naturally interact with those around us, making it vital to protect our vibrational balance when supporting loved ones through hard times. Helping others can be deeply fulfilling but often tests our energetic boundaries. Setting boundaries through practices like grounding, visualization, and meditation shields your energy from negativity while maintaining empathy. Grounding anchors your energy, and visualizing a protective light helps you stay aligned without being overwhelmed. These techniques ensure your energy remains balanced, allowing you to support others without losing yourself. Join Katherine MacLane as we explore ways to protect your energy in challenging times.

What We Say To Ourselves Matters: Combatting Negative Self-Talk Dec 11, 2024

Have you ever stopped to listen to the way you talk to yourself? Those quiet whispers of self-doubt or harsh criticism can shape your reality in ways you may not even realize. Negative self-talk isn’t just a fleeting thought—it’s a pattern that can erode confidence, fuel stress, and hold you back from living the life you deserve. But here’s the good news: with awareness and the right tools, you can challenge and transform those inner messages. Imagine replacing self-criticism with curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion and turning your inner critic into your greatest advocate. The journey starts with one simple truth—what you say to yourself matters.

Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

In addition to her private practice, Jen is an active member of the Fair Field Trauma Response team, a volunteer alliance of mental health professionals committed to aiding first responders and the local communities in healing from trauma, tragedy, and stress.

The Gut-Life Balance: How Acupuncture Assists with Digestive Discomfort Nov 27, 2024

We don’t just digest food—we digest life. Every thought, feeling, and experience we encounter impacts our gut health, making digestion about so much more than what’s on our plate. For women, this connection is even more profound, as stress, hormonal changes, and emotional well-being often show up in the form of bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and other gut issues. Acupuncture, a powerful tool in East Asian medicine, helps restore balance by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of digestion. It’s not just about relieving symptoms—it’s about nurturing your body and mind to feel your best from the inside out.

In this episode, we talk about how acupuncture and East Asian medicine can support and heal digestion and gastrointestinal issues that are prevalent today with Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practising for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions. He understands the role that spirit, creativity, and spontaneity play in creating health and recovery.

“You can’t fix a problem in somebody’s hip or shoulder if they don’t have a healthy digestive system, and are not sleeping.” [41:47]
“If you’re not going to the bathroom, you’re not digesting well, and you’re not sleeping, it’s very difficult to heal your body from anything, specifically digestive issues.” [42:02]

In a world that constantly tells us who we should be, finding our true identity can feel like an uphill battle.

Combating Imposter Syndrome and Career Uncertainty with Human Design Nov 13, 2024

What is it that truly drives you? What if your work could be a reflection of your unique purpose, aligning your deepest values with what you do every day? Many of us struggle with feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome, wondering if we’re really in the right place or living up to our true potential. Imagine a path where you uncover your natural strengths, connect with your authentic self, and let go of the pressure to be someone you’re not. When career and purpose align, work becomes more than a job—it becomes a fulfilling extension of who you are, empowering you to face challenges with confidence and clarity. Embracing this alignment can transform how you navigate your career, letting purpose guide you toward both fulfillment and success.

In this episode, we talk about how human design could be a tool to achieve your dreams and find your motivation and purpose in your work with a returning guest, Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

What We Can Learn from Dream Visitations & Metaphysical Experiences Oct 30, 2024

Have you ever woken up from a dream feeling as though a deceased loved one just visited you but brushed it off as just a regular dream? Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging. However, unlike typical dreams, these encounters leave you with an undeniable sense of peace, love, and closure rather than confusion or unease. Often, many recall conversations or direct messages from their loved ones, along with a clear sense of their presence. The dream may also include subtle signs, such as a familiar scent or symbol, making the connection feel unmistakable.

In this episode, we discuss metaphysical experiences, how to distinguish regular dreams from visitation dreams, who is more prone to having this experience, and how to start asking spirits for signs with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium who offers mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lee hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

“A lot of why we have difficulties in life is that we feel apart, different, and separated, but the more we realize we share the same experiences, the more we can focus on our strengths, best selves, and the life that is meant for us.” [07:45]
“Our power for being our truest selves is rooted in feeling comfortable in who we are; not sharing your truth is minimizing your truth.” [10:55]
“You can request signs; spirit communication is not one-way, it’s a two-way street, and they love it when we talk back or ask for help.” [32:47]
“Even if you feel like you can’t share it, have faith that your experiences are real even if you can’t explain them.” [47:44]

Accountability and (Finally) Getting Out of Your Own Way Oct 23, 2024

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle standing between us and the life we truly want is ourselves. We get caught up in the expectations of others, seeking external validation and fulfillment, all while losing sight of what really matters to us. Accountability, both to ourselves and to others, is key to breaking this cycle. It empowers us to focus on what is truly meaningful, shifting from external pressures to a more authentic, self-directed path. By taking ownership of our choices and actions, we can make small, consistent changes that lead to lasting transformation. It’s never too late to redefine your life, let go of self-imposed limitations, and start living with purpose and fulfillment.

a gentle hands-on therapy, offers a holistic approach to alleviating these symptoms by targeting the
fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. By releasing tension and improving
mobility, myofascial release helps relieve pain, enhance relaxation, and restore balance within the
body. This non-invasive therapy supports the body's natural healing processes, providing an effective
way to manage the discomforts associated with menopause and perimenopause.
In this episode, we talk about perimenopause and menopause symptoms and how myofascial
release can be an option to help you navigate and alleviate some of these symptoms with a return
guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific
motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences
and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist
assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at
John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years

Transform Your Idea of Self-Worth with Reset Breath Work Oct 02, 2024

Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or weighed down by unresolved emotions? Reset breathwork offers a powerful way to transform your sense of self-worth by helping you release stored emotional energy from your body. Unlike other practices, reset breathwork allows you to process emotions without getting caught up in the stories or memories attached to them. This creates space for healing, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of connection to your inner strength. And the most beautiful experience is that as you drop into your body and let go of emotional blockages, you start to rebuild your beliefs, cultivate self-trust, and align with your true potential.

In this episode, we talk about reset breath work, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you drop into your body and reconnect with yourself with a returning guest, Kate. Kate is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength. With a master's degree in coaching and certification in over 20 modalities, including inner child work, parts work, and breathwork, Kate has deeply invested in her spirituality and credits Tarot with saving her life by deepening her connection to her inner voice.

For the past seven years, she has used Tarot to help clients quickly access deeper insights, lower their defences, tap into their intuition, and clear away the blocks holding them back. Through the processes of embodying clarity, rebuilding beliefs, and reintegrating parts, Kate creates a dynamic space for solo-led women to reclaim their voices, stand in their unshakable worth, and make business decisions aligned with their highest selves.

The Role of Resourcing in EMDR & Healing Trauma Sep 18, 2024

Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

“When you have been through significant trauma, it’s harder to find and draw on positive experiences on your memory and nervous system, but resourcing seeks to find, draw out and strengthen them.” [14:18]
“There is strength and power that come from remembering moments of triumph and doing something effectively.” [34:24]
“We all have these negative cognition beliefs, and when we’re struggling, they predominate our thoughts, but going to places where your body feels at ease, successful, and connected can override negative cognition.” [34:59]

Finding Spiritual Connection & Healing Through Community Sep 11, 2024

Do you feel like your spiritual journey has left you longing for a deeper connection in a fast-paced world? In the rush of daily life, spirituality can often feel distant or difficult to grasp, leaving us yearning for something more. This is where the power of community comes in. Within a spiritual community, the search for meaning takes on new depth, offering a space where we can explore our beliefs alongside others who share our quest. It’s in this collective experience that you find not only support and encouragement but also a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, reminding you that your spiritual journey is both personal and communal, deeply enriched by the presence of others.

In this episode, we talk about connection, community, and their role in a spiritual and healing journey with a returning guest, Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

Nurturing Intuition: Using Human Design to Empower Parents and Children Aug 21, 2024

Are you a parent wanting to connect better with your children and grow together? Human design can be the missing tool in your parenting arsenal. It is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to create a unique chart for each person. With human design knowledge, parents can better recognize and support their children's natural strengths and inclinations and help them align with their true nature, fostering confidence and self-awareness. On the other hand, when children grow up knowing their human design, it helps them understand why they might feel or act differently from others and reassures them that their unique traits are valuable. Parents who use human design to nurture their child's intuition can create a more harmonious and supportive home environment. This approach encourages open communication and mutual respect, allowing children to develop a strong sense of self and navigate the world more quickly and confidently.
In this episode, our return guest, Zach Carlsen, will do a live reading of Chandler’s kids to demonstrate how human design can help parents better connect and communicate with their kids and support them as they grow. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's Wellbeing Aug 07, 2024

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's Wellbeing

Myofascial release is a type of therapy aimed at relieving tension and pain in the body's muscles and connective tissues. This therapy involves gentle, sustained pressure on the fascial tissues to help improve movement and reduce discomfort. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports various structures in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It is a continuous web-like network that runs throughout the entire body, providing structural support and protection. Often used by physical and massage therapists, myofascial release can help with various conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tightness. By releasing tight spots and improving blood flow, this technique helps restore the body’s natural alignment and function, promoting overall well-being.

In this episode with our return guest, Karen Remele, we talk about how myofascial release can be a powerful healing tool for addressing physical traumas in the body, including those resulting from sexual abuse and reproductive issues among women. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years

“Literally, myofascial requires you putting your hands in the body and massaging those areas that need to be released.” [08:12]
“When you are being treated with myofascial release, internal work is not always where it starts, but externally, trying to correct what can be corrected externally.” [23:20]
“Myofascial treatment depends on all that you need to achieve. Healing is about trusting who you are working with.” [32:55]

How To Access And Listen To Your Intuitive Mind Jul 31, 2024

We all have those inner moments of knowing, those flashes of insight that seem to come from nowhere. It is called the intuition. Tapping into our intuitive capabilities involves embracing this inner knowing and trusting the messages it conveys. By quieting the noise of daily life and reconnecting with ourselves through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and reflective journaling, we can become more attuned to the intuitive mind.

Free Your Body from Past Trauma with Myofascial Release Jul 10, 2024

Free Your Body From Past Trauma With Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate pain and tension by targeting the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs in the body. This holistic approach addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and mental trauma, providing comprehensive healing. MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release fascial restrictions, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being. By focusing on the fascia, MFR helps to restore balance and function to the body, facilitating the release of past traumas and supporting a pain-free existence. This therapy empowers people to actively participate in their own healing process, creating a deeper connection with their bodies and enhancing their quality of life.

In this episode, we talk about myofascial release (MFR) and its impact on our ability to heal emotional and physical wounds with a special guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed the course of her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating on the benefits of myofascial release.

Spirituality, Religion, and the Rhythm of our Lives Jul 10, 2024

Spirituality, Religion, and the Rhythm of Our Lives

Spirituality and religion, while often intertwined, offer distinct pathways for seeking meaning, connection, and solace in the rhythm of life. Spirituality tends to be a more personal and individualized experience, while religion is typically structured around established doctrines, communal practices, and shared beliefs. Together, spirituality and religion provide a framework for understanding the divine through patterns of prayer, rituals, and community support that help us navigate both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. Whether through the solace of personal meditation or the solidarity of communal worship, these practices can ground us and bring us closer to understanding our place in the world and our relationship with the divine.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzy is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers.

Process your Past for Peace in the Present with EMDR Jul 10, 2024

Process Your Past for Peace in the Present with EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to help process past traumatic events. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR involves recalling distressing experiences while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This dual attention process helps to desensitize and reprocess the traumatic memory, transforming it from a vivid, emotionally charged recollection to a more neutral and manageable story. EMDR is grounded in the concept that trauma disrupts the brain's natural information processing, and by re-engaging this process, we can achieve significant emotional and psychological healing.
In this episode, we talk about EMDR and how it can help you process past traumatic events, remove obstacles, and reclaim your healing with Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

Awaken Your Healing Abilities with Acupuncture Jul 10, 2024

Awaken Your Healing Abilities with Acupuncture
Physical and emotional memories from past experiences, often manifesting as tension, pain, or other symptoms. Achieving peace with acupuncture involves using this ancient healing technique to release these stored memories and restore balance within the body. By stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles, acupuncture encourages the flow of energy, or "qi," which can help dissolve blockages and ease the physical manifestations of trauma. This process not only alleviates physical discomfort but also promotes emotional healing, allowing you to experience a profound sense of peace and well-being.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times with Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practicing for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions. He understands the role that spirit, creativity, and spontaneity play in creating health and recovery.

Standout Quotes:

“Acupuncture supports the body to communicate with itself, and it’s similar to doing meditation for 6 months; acupuncture is a shortcut.” [07:24]
“Acupuncture can help a person experience being in their body and change the way their body reacts to food and experience pain because the tension in the body leaves.” [08:27]
“All healing occurs within us and can be activated by a thought, feeling or desire but acupuncture can facilitate healing without us having to use our thoughts or feelings.” [11:42]
“One of the most important things is to help women to find their way to their own personal self worth because when that happens it’s going to change them, their family and the community.” [29:59]
